Robinson, who played at South Pittsburg and was the 2011 Southern Conference Freshman of the Year, played the opening series in Saturday’s 34-13 loss at South Florida before he was replaced by backup Jacob Huesman – son of UTC Coach Russ Huesman. Robinson eventually went 4-for-5 for 25 yards and had a 17-yard scramble that was the team’s longest run from scrimmage.

Robinson was the team’s second-leading rusher last season with 417 yards, and threw for 336 yards as well while backing up B.J. Coleman.

Nichols, a redshirt junior, started last season against Samford and completed 11 of 17 passes for 62 yards in a 24-9 win. He was previously the offensive most valuable player of UTC’s 2010 and ’11 spring games.

As a senior at Franklin in 2008, Nichols threw for 2,204 yards and 20 touchdowns while helping the Rebels to a 13-2 mark and a Class 5A runner-up finish.
